This branding and packaging concept for 'Shake My Head' [milkshake cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorchanging-cold-cups) by designer Rustam Usmanov offers an eye-catching way to play up the colors of a [blended beverage product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brown-sugar-latte-milkshake).

The Shake My Head collection includes characters like zombies, gangsters and punks that are identified by flavors like 'Fresh Brain,' 'Choko Gangster' and 'Punk Blue.' Each character has pop-out ears that add dimension to the shape of their heads, while the milkshakes that can be seen through a clear plastic dome make it seem as though a consumer can see straight through to each character's brain.

This concept is also adapted for [drink containers of different sizes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaky-shakes-pods), with characters of different ages being used to represent the small, medium and large milkshake cup sizes that would be sold through a chain.
